The resulting principles, embodied in the Binding Theory, provide rules that are of some use to researchers in naturallanguage processing because they provide information about disjoint reference -what an expression cannot refer to in certain circumstances.

"text": "We (Gordon & Hendrick, 1997; have used the basic methods of experimental psychology to take a close look at the phenomena of coreference and disjoint reference involving full expressions (names and descriptions) that have been cited in support of Principle C of the Binding Theory. I The results show that the interaction of form of referring expression and language structure is far simpler than it has been taken to be in the Binding Theory. Further, results on the judged acceptability of different configurations of referential expressions are consistent with the results of experiments that use reading time as ~ano online measure of language comprehension (Gordon, Grosz & Gilliom, 1993; Gordon, Hendricl~ Ledoux & Yang, 1999) . Further, those results are consistent with the frequency of different types of coreferentiai configurations in corpora of naturally-occurring language (Ariel, 1994; Carden, 1982; van Hock, 1997) . The pattern of\" coreference that is observed with these three types of measures (intuitive judgments, reading time, and frequency in a corpus) is accounted for by a model (Gordon & Hendricl~ 1998) that incorporates aspects of Centering Theory (Grosz, Joshi, & Weinstein, 1995) into Discourse Representation Theory (Kamp & Reyle, 1993 ).", |

The results that we have obtained in those comparisons are consistent with other theoretical and methodological approaches. Research on psychological heuristics for interpreting ambiguous pronouns has provided support for a subject-assignment strategy, where a pronoun is preferentially interpreted as coreferential with the subject of the preceding clause (Crawley, Stevenson, & Kleinman, 1990; Frederick.sen, 1981) ; in our framework, the subject of a sentence has the most structural prominence. Research on the success of algorithms for pronoun resolution (Lappin & Leass, 1994) shows that syntactic factors (such as being a subject, being a direct object, and not being contained within another noun phrase) contribute to the likelihood that an expression is the antecedent of a subsequent pronoun.", |

"text": "We have developed a model of coreference called Discourse Prominence Theory or DPT (Gordon & Hendrick, 1998) . It adapts the formalism provided by Kamp and Reyle's (1993) Discourse Representation Theory (DRT). In this approach, construction rules (CRs) map linguistic expressions onto universes of discourse. In DPT the construction rules and representation of DRT are modified so that they can account for the basic facts of coreference described above. The principle modifications are: (1) The construction rules for proper names and definite descriptions introduce entities into the discourse model as they do in Kamp and Reyle (1993) , but the construction rule for pronouns interprets pronouns as referring directly to entities in the discourse model which is not how the rule works in Kamp and Reyle (1993) ; (2) Discourse entities in the model are ranked in terms of prominence (an idea that derives from the set of forward-looking centers in Centering Theory, Grosz, et al. 1995) which influences the way in which coreference is established. Discourse Prominence Theory includes three construction rules for the major types of reference and coreference, those for proper names, pronouns, and equivalence as shown below. We explain these rules by showing how they account for the differences in the ease of establishing coreference in sequences of different types of referring expressions. Then we discuss how this process is influenced by syntactic prominence. The example below involves a sentence with a name-pronoun sequence. The occurrence of the name triggers the construction rule for proper names (CR.PN) which posits a new entity (here shown as x) in the universe of the discourse and which introduces a condition in the universe consisting of the name predicated on this new entity. The occunence of the pronoun triggers the construction rule for pronouns (CR.Pro) which searches the discourse universe for a *'suitable antecedent\" (one that matches on grammatically encoded features). For the example sentence below this leads fairly directly to a discourse universe that successfully represents the coreferential interpretation of the name and the pronoun? E,x: Jane thinks she is sick. the name triggers the construction rule for proper names as does the second occurrence of the name. In the example, this leads to a situation where there are two entities (x and y), both with the name Jane predicated on them, where one entity thinks the other is sick. Thus, the construction rules triggered by the namename sequence naturally leads to a state of disjoint reference as shown by the intermediate discourse universe shown below. Coreference is only established through the construction rule \u2022 for equivalence which is triggered by the presence in the discourse universe of the same name predicated on two distinct entities. This rule introduces a condition that equates the two entities thereby establishing coreference as shown in the second discourse universe below. The fact that coreference in name-name sequences requires an additional construction rule and involves an intermediate representation with disjoint reference explains why coreference is more difficult to achieve in name-name sequences than in name-pronoun sequences.", |

"text": "The final example involves a sentence with a pronoun-name sequence, First. the occurrence of the pronoun triggers the construction rule for pronouns. Because the discourse universe does not contain a suitable antecedent, a new entity is introduced. The occurrence of the name subsequently triggers the construction rule for proper names which introduces a second entity upon which the name is predicated. Thus, a discourse universe is created with two distinct entities but without the identifying information that could trigger the construction rule for equivalence. Because there is no direct way of establishing coreference it is comparatively difficult to establish coreference in pronounname sequences. As discussed above, the syntactic prominence of the antecedent influences the ease of establishing coreference: Greater prominence facilitates coreference in name-pronoun sequences while it inhibits coreference in namename sequences. DPT accounts for this effect by adopting the notion, from Centering Theory, that entities in the discourse representation are ranked in terms of prominence. Based on our psycholinguistic results, it is clear that the syntactic status of an antecedent expression is a major determinant of its \"rank. The two construction roles that establish coreference use this ranking in different ways. The construction rule for pronouns searches for a suitable antecedent starting with the most prominent discourse entity, thus a prominent antecedent facilitates coreference with a pronoun. In contrast, the construction rule for equivalence involves an evaluation that begins with the least prominent entity, thus having a pmrm'nent entity inhibits coreference with a repeated name.", |

Adjuncts serve to semantically modify the main clause to which they arc attached. Accordingly, a fronted adjunct causes a departure from the normal incremental construction of a discourse model where linguistic expressions are added to the existing discourse model so as to elaborate its semantic content. This is because a fronted adjunct must be processed in relation to the clause to which it is attached and therefore must await processing of that clause when the adjunct appears first. In our model, this break in inereinental processing is formulated as a (possibly temporary) partitioning of the discourse universe that is triggeyed bY a fronted adjunct. Because a pronoun in a just begun discourse segment cannot possibly have a referent, it is held in an un-interpreted state and therefore can be subsequently equated with a following name. The two construction rules given below detail the partitioning of the discourse segment and the possible establishment of coreference for an entity in such a segment. The (temporary) semantic partitioning of the discourse universe provides a unified account of the possibility of backwards anaphora in fronted adjuncts and the absence of a penalty for names over pronouns in a fronted adjunct. the condition set _(u) within --Ki where _ is a pronoun Instructions:", |

Further, syntactic forms play an important role in the characterization of the linguistic input to the DRT construction rules and syntax clearly plays an important role in coreference. Finally, DRT describes semantic interpretation as an incremental process in which the interpretation of an utterance involves a dynamic interaction of the characteristics of the utterance with the discourse universe that represents the meanings created from the earlier utterances in the discourse. Beyond its usefulness in providing a satisfactory semantics, of discourse, this dynamic view of language processing makes DRT attractive as a framework for characterizing the psychological processes of . language comprehension which are generally regarded as dynamic and incremental.", |

"text": "Centering Theory provides key theoretical notions for understanding how reference and the form of referring expressions contribute to discourse coherence. DPT directly incorporates the idea of a set of forward-looking centers (Cf) in order to explain how structural prominence affects the interpretation of pronouns and repeated full expressions. This incorporation extends the role of the Cf so that it plays a role in the interpretation of referential expressions within an utterance as well as between utterances in a discourse segment. The idea of a backward-looking center (Cb) is not directly incorporated into the representation of discourse within DPT. Instead, thc characteristics of the Cb emerge from how the model integrates an utterance into the current discourse universe and thereby linking it to the current discourse segment. The preference for realizing the Cb as a pronoun occurs because the construction rule for pronouns (CR.Pro) interprets a pronoun as referring to an entity in the current discourse representation and therefore forces integration of the utterance into the current discourse representation. Absent a clear cue for integration, such as a pronoun, there is always the possibility that the utterance is the beginning of a new discourse segment and should not be integrated into the current discourse universe. The existence of only a single Cb in an utterance occurs because a single pronominal reference is sufficient to force the integration of an entire utterance into the current discourse universe.", |

We (Gordon & Hendrick, 1997) found that there were striking differences between what was seen as acceptable coreference in the linguistics literature and what emerged from quantitative analysis of judgments that were systematically obtained from subjects who were naive to syntactic theory. Further, the view of coreferenc\u00a2 that emerged from the judgments of naive subjects was consistent with online measures of language comprehension and with analysis of corpus data. We believe that this consistency points to the usefulness of considering the kinds of intuitive judgments that have traditionally been used in trying to develop theories of linguistic competence. However, we also believe that it demonstrates the need for careful methodology in collecting intuitive judgments. Because of substantial variation in \"i ~-' judgmentsabout coreference, and because of the centrality of the theoretical issues at stake, claims about the favored or acceptable interpretations of linguistic expressions in discourse need to be supported by quantitatively analyzed data obtained from subjects who are ", |
